How about viewing other players stats..

What this did was make people post on level 1 alts just so they dont get humiliated by other people online and it created a massive jerkfest of who has the longest e penis on the forums. Online gaming communities in general are a cesspool of people using the said game to put others down, we see it everywhere, on a daily basis. There is nothing Blizzard can do about this, not showing losses of sub Masters players at least helps that problem somewhat, it dosent fix it, but somewhat dampens it. Blizzards line of thinking is Fact 1: Nobody will quit the game over their losses not showing Fact 2: Some will quit if the community makes fun of their win/loss record I dont mind my losses showing personally but i get why they are doing it | ||

Also Huk and JP have a silly feud, mostly thanks to the former. | ||

Top of the group; have to win 3 games to win. Bottom of the group; have to win 6 games to win (or 7 don't remember). | ||

Or you could just download SC2Gears and let that keep track for you, I know exactly how many wins and losses i have this season, and exactly what winrate I have in all match-ups. If people are really that serious about the game that their winrate matters then they would probably already have sc2gears as its an awesome peice of kit for analysing games and which build orders you have the most success with. | ||

None the less I'm really looking forward to the next SOTG as the MLG competition has been(theoretically at least ) amazing with a small role reversal between incontrol and Tyler, and both liquid and EG have been centers of attention. Also it would be awesome if you could get someone from dignitas to come on the show because of the teams ridiculous run through the tournament. And please no one from MLG (excluding day9 and JP ofc :D) with more excuses and blaming someone else for their screw-ups. | ||

Link to MLG rules, scroll down to 'GAMEPLAY', and read rules #3, #6, and #15. + Show Spoiler + 3. Players may not chat in-game unless they are engaging in pre-game sportsmanship or surrendering the Game. 6. Breaking any of Gameplay Rules #2-5 will result in a Forfeit of the Game 15. Players who quit out of a Game before it has ended, without Referee’s permission, will Forfeit the Game. If they're going to be serious about enforcing these, then Huk forfeited game 3 by breaking rule #3 before Idra forfeited game 3 by breaking rule #15. | ||

It's entirely possible even this story is false. Huk definitely was against live casting of tournaments and a big baby about the issue. | ||

It wasn't a beta tournament, it was a fun showmatch with nothing on the line vs machine for Giantbomb.com's TNT, where they play games with the community and had them play a Bo3 as a special. IDK if HuK was really pissed about it but those games were streamed live. | ||

IdrA broke rule 3 as well but nobody cares that much. The results are already in, so they can't change anything now. | ||
